Dog Friendly Cliffside Cabin

76km from Westmeath Provincial Park · 1 site
I built this cabin to be a romantic, cozy off-grid getaway for humans , but if most of our guests are being honest, the dogs are the ones having the best time. There’s a cozy queen bed with fresh linens and a down duvet. A covered deck with handcrafted rocking chairs for sunset views. A private fire area below for campfires and stargazing. LED lighting, a Bluetooth speaker, a Jackery battery bank, clean well water, lanterns, an outdoor shower, and a clean outhouse. I’ll even haul your gear in by ATV so you can settle in without the hassle. And after all that work, most guests still seem to agree on the real highlight: Watching their dogs absolutely lose their minds with happiness. More than anything, this place has become a favourite for people who want to give their dogs the kind of freedom they rarely get anywhere else. Most of our guests tell us over and over, that their favourite part is watching their best friends make their own decisions, run the trails, sniff everything, chase chipmunks, explore the forest, and basically have the time of their lives. Of course, the humans tend to enjoy themselves too. The cabin sits on a west-facing cliff on our private 164-acre property. Once you arrive, you’ll have the feeling of having the whole place to yourselves. The trails, the forest, the quiet, the sunsets, it all feels wonderfully removed from the usual noise. In summer, the forest is lush, green, and full of life. The days are warm, the trails are shaded, and evenings at the cliff often bring a breeze and a beautiful sunset. For dogs, there’s endless space to explore. For people, it’s a chance to unplug, slow down, and enjoy a kind of peace that’s getting harder to find. You’ll have access to 10 km of private trails through forest, ridgelines, and lakeshore. Wildlife is plentiful, and depending on the season, you may spot deer, foxes, loons, and maybe even a family of bald eagles! There’s no electricity or running water, but that’s part of the magic. This is real off-grid comfort: simple, peaceful, and thoughtfully set up so you can enjoy nature without giving up a good night’s sleep. Whether you come for a quiet escape, or just to watch your dog have the best weekend of their life, this is the place to be.

Westmeath Provincial Park camping guide

Overview

About

Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Westmeath Provincial Park, a day-use haven where the whispering winds dance over active sand dunes. Here, the Ottawa River's gentle waves beckon adventurers to explore by boat, while the sandy shores invite leisurely strolls and birdwatching escapades. Although overnight stays are not on the agenda, the park's rich tapestry of flora and fauna offers a full day's journey into nature's embrace.

When to go

The best time to visit Westmeath Provincial Park is during the warm summer months when the park's full splendour is on display. However, be mindful of the park's hours, from sunrise to 10pm, and check for any seasonal advisories. Winter visits offer a stark, frozen beauty, but accessibility may be limited due to weather conditions.

  • Remember, no campfires or open fires are permitted; portable gas stoves with a control valve are allowed.
  • For your safety, always check for fire bans and boil water advisories before your visit.
